slaughter a few cedars, save some oaks
we've started clearing a driveway into our land in wimberley. we hope to be able to camp in there some weekend in the near future. the driveway cut below looks wide enough for our airstream. this was after removing about 40 cedars. we're working the drive around the many oaks.
below is looking into the drive from the street and my wife packing up some various ground trash that was desposited over the years, mostly beer and soda cans etc.
a neighbor was nice enough to invite us up on their second story deck to take in their views. we hope to have a similar view but our building site is probably 25 ft lower in elevation.
below is the view towards our property
we found a large clearing in the middle where I did some repairs to the chainsaw
we found the back property line! this was our third attempt to see the back. other attemps resulted in us turning back because it was just to thick or too long a hike. one attempt resulted in us coming back out near where we'd started. it's so thick in there we'd managed to do a big 180 when we'd thought we were walking in a straight line.
other highlights of our trek included a second but slightly smaller clearing and some GIGANTIC hundred year old oaks. we look fwd to liberating more oaks from the cedars that are growing up into them and depriving them of sun and sucking up their water.
